It’s always seemed like a treat to have freshly squeezed orange juice. Something reserved for when on holiday or visiting the spa. But since using the KitchenAid Go Cordless Citrus Juicer every day, I have been blown away at how easy and fuss-free fresh juice every day can be.
My family and I have enjoyed fresh orange juice every day since testing the juicer, and it sets us up with a great start to the day. Fresh juice is a great way to add in some extra vitamins and minerals to your daily routine, and give you an extra boost of energy in the morning without turning to the coffee pot right away.
You may think that you need one of the best juicers, which can set you back over $600, but the KitchenAid Citrus Juicer is only $99. You don’t have to pay loads to have fresh juice daily with minimal mess or stress. The juicer is part of the KitchenAid Go range, so it is battery-powered and cordless.
Gets every ounce of juice
The best thing about this juicer is that it gets every ounce of juice. It completely pulverises each segment of the orange to get every last bit of juice out of the orange. I sliced the oranges in half and then placed them on the reamer.
The reamer automatically spins when pressure is applied to it, so after juicing 25 oranges, my arms didn’t hurt at all. There’s no twisting round and round like with a manual citrus juicer. And once it was complete, only the pith and the rind of the orange remained. I just threw these straight in the compost bin.
But as you can imagine, there is a lot of pulp and pips that don’t make it to the final product, and these get caught by the stainless steel sieve. This is easily cleaned out though, by tipping it into the compost bin.
Getting your dose of Vitamin C
There are a lot of ways to get your daily dose of Vitamin C, but a cold glass of OJ in the morning is definitely my favourite way. It is a great antioxidant and protects the body by boosting immune function.
If I ever feel under the weather, orange juice is a sure-fire way to get me back fighting fit in no time. A study on U.S. adults published in the journal Nutrients found that orange juice is a top source of antioxidants in the American diet, and it helps that it’s totally delicious.
I always feel better when I am regularly drinking orange juice, and it gives me a boost of energy with its naturally occurring sugars, meaning I can skip the caffeine for the day.
Compact and cordless
If I were going on a camping trip and taking my car, the KitchenAid Go Cordless Citrus Juicer is honestly something I would pack with me.
Since it is cordless, as long as the Kitchen Aid Go battery is fully charged, it can be used anywhere. This is great if, like me, you have a busy kitchen setup with a lot of appliances; not having to unplug something else to use the juicer is a dream.
